I had to purchase new wardrobes for both of my boys for school. They are at the age where they seem to grow every week. I have my fingers crossed that the clothes I just bought will still fit by the end of the school year…or at least make it through the holidays.

Before the new clothes would fit in their closet, I had to pull out all the old clothes and shoes that no longer worked for my guys. After a while, we ended up with a huge pile of items to donate.

The timing was perfect as I happened to get a request for gently used clothing from a mom’s group that I am in. A family had lost their home in a fire and all their kids needed clothing fast. I went through the boys old clothes and found a ton of items in the sizes needed. There were even a couple of pairs of shoes that were still in good shape…they just needed a little TLC.

So, I grabbed a bottle of KIWI^® Sneaker Cleaner and went to work to see if I could make the shoes look like new. Cleaning a pair shoes took about 10 minutes and then I simply sat them aside and let them dry for about 30 minutes.

The sponge-top brush makes applying and scrubbing the shoes quick and easy. The powerful cleaning formula works like a champ and takes care of all the dirt and stains in a flash. AND to help keep the shoes looking good, I applied KIWI^® Sneaker Protector. It was just as simple to use…just spray and allow to dry.

After all was said and done, I dropped off several big bags of clothes and several pairs of shoes that look great. So now my boys have a clean closet and their old clothes will get a second life with some other kiddos. That’s a win/win if you ask me!
